It it affecting Sky Q boxes too?
Woo-hoo, the clocks go back to GMT this weekend!
- Thread starter Feek

Doesn't look like it. What I'd like to know is why this wasn't an issue with the HD+ boxes compared to past years. Why now...
So someone says on the Sky forum.
They are probably testing the waters for when they introduce "an issue" which "forces" them to insist everyone has to swap out their box for the Q version. They probably thought a GMT bug would be a good way to test the amount of uproar when a seemingly blanket fault affects all normal sky+ boxes. Or it could also just be a typical Sky balls up.
There was no bug last year, I'm fairly sure I remember watching the Sky box then effortlessly shift from 12-1am over a two hour period.
It certainly seems like a "bug" that they've invented this year.
Heh! It gets better. It's starting to remind me of Microsoft and Windows 10. Not testing their stuff.
I mean regardless, how can something simple be complex for them?
Story of my life, my wife turned the TV on at 22.04 Sunday night, and the time at the top of the screen read 23.04, so between 18.20 or thereabouts it had reverted to one hour ahead, but it was recording “Vera”, which started at 22.00.
For some unknown reason my Camberwell born, Peckham raised wife likes to watch “Vera”, although she has to have the subtitles on to understand it, which I find strange, as the North East accents seem intelligible to me.
My Sky box seemed to fix the time by itself yesterday at about 18:30, didn't have to switch off or reboot it. But, I wake up this morning to see the box saying I have to press the yellow button to restart it, which I do, and now the time is 1 hour ahead again. Starting to look like they are indeed trying to knacker old boxes accidentally on purpose. Would not put it past them.

Sat in the car for 10 minutes today trying to change the time, which I did in the end 
Wasn't all wasted though as I found a few settings for other stuff as I was scrolling through different menus I'd never seen before!
Of course, 6 months from now I'll have forgotten how to do it again.

Because you have a silly low number of posts per page. This thread is only on page two.

Page 2...
well i am sure they used the opportunity when people ring up to complain to tell them how wonderful SkyQ is.
I returned my SkyQ and went back to SkyHD cos Q has some dumb flaws

My Sky Q box I miss the actual search rather done by voice as sometimes it doesn’t recognise my accent
Lol page 7 for me too.
And me, if there was an option for setting the amount of posts per page when I registered then I must have missed it, but I’m happy with the set-up that I have.

It's that special time of year again where we get an extra hour in bed this Sunday. It also gets darker earlier.
Damnit, this means I don't get the pleasure and the satisfaction of starting a new thread.
